Install two AA-size batteries (LR6 type) with correct positive (+) and negative

(-) poles oriented as shown inside the battery chamber lid.

3. Push the battery chamber lid to close securely until it clicks shut.

2.

Loading film

(Fig.

D)

1.

Slide the camera back lock-release lever downward to open the camera back.

2.

Position the hole in the bottom of the film cartridge over the film rewind fork

and slip the film cartridge into the film chamber.

3. Pull film leader across to the film leader position index.

4.

Make sure the film stays flat between the film guides.

5. Close the camera back.

Film speed

The camera is designed to use DX-coded films with ISO 100 and 400. With ISO

100 or 400

film,

the exact film speed is automatically set in the camera. If non

DX-coded film is loaded, film speed is automatically set to ISO 100.

3. Taking pictures

(Fig.

E)

1.

To turn the camera ON, lightly press the shutter release button.

2.

Hold the camera firmly, look in the viewfinder and adjust the zoom setting to

the desired image size.

3. Keep the subject at least 1.90m (6.2 ft.) away from the camera at the wide-

angle setting and 2.3m (7.5 ft.) at the telephoto setting for sharp pictures.

4.

Fully press the shutter release button to take pictures.

Note:

As no power switch is provided with this camera, the camera is

activated everytime you press the shutter release button halfway,

move the zoom lever or slide the Flash/Macro switch down.

—3—

Guide to zooming (Fig. F)

The 35mm zoom setting provides wide-angle coverage, suitable for group

portraits and landscapes. The 60mm telephoto zoom setting covers a narrower

angle of view, ideal for portraiture or any subject you cannot get close to. To

activate the zoom, move the zoom lever to "GO" for telephoto or "rng" for

wide-angle view.

4. Flash photography

(Fig.

G)

1.

Under dim lighting conditions, the low light warning LED (red) next to the

viewfinder lights up when the shutter release button is lightly pressed. Next,

slide the Flash/Macro switch downward to turn the Flash switch ON.

2.

When the Flash ready-light turns ON, fully press the shutter release button.

Before taking a flash picture, make sure that the subject is within the flash

shooting range for the film speed in use (see table).

Caution:

Remember to turn OFF the Flash/Macro switch after finishing your

picture taking or the battery power will be exhausted.

Red-eye reduction

In flash photography, the subject's eyes sometimes appear bright red in color

pictures (white in b/w ones) due to a phenomenon known as "red-eye."

To counteract this effect, your camera comes with a red-eye reduction lamp.

When the shutter release button is pressed lightly, the red-eye reduction lamp

lights up, causing the size of the subject's pupil to grow smaller, thus reducing

the possibility of red-eye effect.

To activate red-eye reduction lamp, be sure to turn the Flash/Macro switch ON

first. Then hold down the shutter release button halfway for a few seconds

before pressing the button all the way to fire the flash.

5. Macro (close-up) photography

(Fig,

H)

This camera is designed to take close-up pictures of a subject from 0.55 to

0.95m (1.8 to 3.1 ft.) at the wide-angle setting, and 0.60 to 0.85m (2.0 to 2.8 ft.)

at the telephoto setting away from the camera.

1.

Set the Flash/Macro switch to "ON" and wait until the flash ready-light turns ON.

2.

Compose your subject within the viewfinder.

3. While holding the Flash/Macro switch all the way down, fully depress the

shutter release button.

Important: Depending on the ISO number of the film in use, the effective

close-up range for close-up picture varies. (See the table on

page 5.)

Caution:

For macro photography, make sure that your subject is within the

shaded area of the viewfinder as shown in Fig. H

(2).

The upper portion

of the viewfinder will be omitted; only the shaded portion is exposed.

—7—

Caution:

Remember to turn OFF the Flash/Macro switch after finishing your

picture taking or the battery power will be exhausted.

6. Rewinding film

(Fig,

i)

1.

At the end of the

roll,

the film advance motor stops and the shutter is locked.

2.

Slide the film rewind switch in the direction of the arrow to rewind the

film.

3. Check to see if the frame counter has returned back to "S".

4.

Open the camera back and remove the film for processing without delay.
